Controversy created by Congress unwarranted: BJP on Rahul's seating row

The ruling party wondered what was the fuss about when Rahul had been alloted a seat as per "protocol", adding that the BJP leaders were treated similarly during the Congress rule but it had never made it an issue. He is also the president of India's largest opposition party.

"Rahul is trying to tell he is a super VVIP and should be put ahead of everyone else even if he doesn't have any position or does not fall in the protocol list", Rao said.
